If we are to run a bug tracker, we first need to work out a plan for
entering bugs reported by email into the data base. We need to find a
person or persons who will do the work.

It seems like the sort of job that could easily be automated by a
script. In fact, my preference would be to have the script be the only
recipient of the emacs-pretest-bug and bug-emacs mail aliases, and to
create the entry in the bug database, then add the bug id into the email
before forwarding it to the mailing list subscribers. Things like
prioritizing and categorizing would still have to be done by hand, but
at least there is a guarantee that all bugs make it into the database.

Spam might be a problem with that approach, so perhaps only
automatically add bugs that are in the format created by
report-emacs-bug, and forward incorrectly formatted emails directly to
the list for manual addition.
